Seattle City Light (SCL), in partnership with the Stilly Snohomish Fisheries Enhancement Task Force (TF), will control non-native species in 3-acres of riparian property along the Tolt River. This area will then be replanted with native conifers, hardwoods, and shrubs that are currently represented in the vicinity. A 3-acre work area has been identified on portions of three SCL properties, located at approximately Tolt RM 3.7-4.2 and 4.89-5. Within this work area, non-native vegetation is present at varying densities ranging from medium to monoculture. Himalayan blackberry is the primary species of infestation. SCL proposes that within the 3-acre work area, all non-native vegetation will be treated annually for 3 years and will be planted with native vegetation after 1-2 years of treatment. SCL purchased these properties as part of its ESA Early Action Program with the intent to purchase salmonid habitat and protect and restore the habitat as needed. The parcels are located on the lower Tolt River in the San Souci Area where King County is also actively pursuing purchases for salmonid habitat protection and restoration of river processes.
